The solidarity encounter : women, activism, and creating non-colonizing relations

D'Arcangelis, Carol Lynne (author.).

Summary: "On the heels of recent revelations of past and ongoing injustices, reconciliation and solidarity by Indigenous and non-Indigenous people has become even more urgent. But it is a complex endeavour. The Solidarity Encounter takes readers into the fraught terrain of solidarity organizing in settler colonial North America. The investigation grapples with a key tension: colonizing behaviours that result when white women centre their own goals and frameworks as they participate in activism with Indigenous women and groups. However, the book concludes with hope, offering a constructive framework for non-colonizing solidarity that can be applied in any context of unequal power."--

    The author describes the political solidarity work of indigenous and white women/feminists in Toronto, Canada, and how they reproduce colonial power structures. She draws on interviews with 13 indigenous women and 11 white women to examine the impact of white settler colonialism on solidarity work and why white women might find it hard to adopt an anticolonial feminist lens. She considers how white women doing solidarity work sometimes pursue proximity to indigenous women so that they can see themselves as autonomous/liberal subjects; the problem with proximity and its invasive aspects, which leads to colonizing forms of solidarity; the problem with the attraction to or appreciation of indigenous culture, tradition, or spirituality; how whiteness and gender can create gendered colonial subjectivity in the form of white guilt and exceptionalism; and practical implications of theorizing the solidarity encounter this way and recommendations for a framework of non-colonizing solidarity.
